What a ****ty, ****ty morning! 

At the start of this year I was dead set certain I'd finally be putting my GF guarantee to use and heading off to watch the Dees defend their crown.

What a [censored] up of a season.

As to the outcome today. I'd be physically ill if I have to watch Scott arrogantly soaking in the victory  .  Go  Swans!

    If Geelong win, I will stop watching on the final siren (or earlier if they have it sewn up).

    My fervent hope other than a Syd win is that Dangerfield does NOT win the NSM.

    This GF is a real struggle because it brings back the pain of not experiencing this live last year.

    Its fantastic that we won last year but it hurts to have been denied that joy and seeing what the GF fans have this week makes me jealous.

    Top of the ladder, smashed the Lions. Injury at the Swans. 

    Scott Gullan 

    Geelong 28

    First goal Will Hayward

    Norm Smith Patrick Dangerfield

    Best team for the year for a reason. Reliance on stars gone, have a sense of destiny about them

    Sam Landsberger 

    Sydney 2

    First goal Errol Gulden

    Norm Smith Tom Papley

    Greatest season gets the greatest Grand Final as the greatest of all time gets his first premiership medal in the last game of a Buddy long contract.

    Gerard Whateley

    Geelong 18

    First goal Tom Hawkins

    Norm Smith Patrick Dangerfield

    Perfectly poised to complete a brilliantly orchestrated campaign.

    Rebecca Williams 

    Geelong 6

    First goal Tyson Stengle

    Norm Smith Jeremy Cameron

    The dominant side of the competition all year with the weapons to get the job done.

    Glenn McFarlane 

    Geelong 16

    First goal Lance Franklin

    Norm Smith Jeremy Cameron

    Sixteen wins in a row would be fitting end for the most consistent and best team of the season.

    Jay Clark

    Geelong 15

    First goal Tyson Stengle

    Norm Smith Tom Stewart 

    Cats will play with a spare defender to take sting out of Sydney pressure. 

    Lauren Wood

    Geelong 16

    First goal Tom Papley

    Norm Smith Sam De Koning

    Experience counts for plenty and these Cats have it in spades. It’s Danger time. 

    Mark Robinson

    Geelong 28

    First goal Tyson Stengle

    Norm Smith Tom Stewart

    Perfectly balanced between offence and defence. Will make it 16 in a row and end one of the more dominant season by a club.

    Simeon Thomas-Wilson

    Sydney 4

    First goal Brad Close

    Norm Smith 

    Chris Cavanagh

    Geelong 18

    First goal Tyson Stengle

    Norm Smith Tom Stewart

    The Cats have been the best team all year and don’t have many weak links.

    Jon Ralph 

    Geelong 9

    First goal Patrick Dangerfield

    Norm Smith Tyson Stengle

    Cameron and Stengle the game-breakers despite Sydney’s pressure turning this into an old-fashioned scrap.

    Tim Watson

    Geelong 22

    First goal Tyson Stengle

    North Smith Jeremy Cameron

    Geelong’s form is compelling. The Cats have shown few weaknesses in their 15-game winning streak.

    Liz Walsh 

    Sydney 8

    First goal Isaac Heeney

    Norm Smith

    Mick Malthouse

    Geelong 36

    First goal Jeremy Cameron

    Norm Smith Patrick Dangerfield

    Geelong is in great form, fit, and has been the master of all. Sydney may be unbalanced without Sam Reid.

    Kath Loughnan

    Sydney 15

    First goal Tom Papley

    Norm Smith Luke Parker

    Sydney’s elite pressure over four quarters coupled with their dynamic forward line and underrated backline will deliver the Swans an earlier than expected premiership.

    Ebony Marinoff 

    Sydney

    First goal Chad Warner 

    Norm Smith

    Sally Capp 

    Geelong 56

    First goal Brad Close

    The Grand Final is back where it belongs in Australia’s sporting capital. The city is the winner.

    David King 

    Geelong 22

    First goal Tom Hawkins

    Norm Smith Jeremy Cameron

    Healthy, too much experience, too many match winners forward of centre.

    Mick McGuane

    Geelong 15

    First goal Will Hayward

    Norm Smith Cam Guthrie

    Geelong’s defensive mechanisms will disrupt the Swans ball movement and their attack is potent.

    Dermott Brereton

    Geelong 5

    First goal Patrick Dangerfield

    Norm Smith Patrick Dangerfield

    Sarah Jones

    Geelong 14

    First goal Tom Hawkins

    I’d love to see Joel Selwood - a champion on & off the field lift the cup. 

    Matt Turner

    Geelong 6

    First goal Gary Rohan

    Norm Smith Mitch Duncan

    Have looked like the premiers for a long time now and should be a bit too strong on Saturday.

    James Hird

    Geelong 10

    First goal Tom Hawkins

    Norm Smith Joel Selwood

    Graham Cornes 

    Geelong 41

    First goal Isaac Heeney

    So lucky me got tickets in the MCC ballot, don't get me wrong I'm very thankful but just can't help but feel a tad disappointed it's not us today.

    As I stated in another thread it would be good if some of the boys got to the G today to make them realise what they've missed out on playing at the G gf day.

    After loads of rain it is an absolutely stunning day here in the northern Rivers.

    I never thought winning a flag would lead to feeling so hollow today.

    Thoughts with everyone today.

    I hope this burns our club to come back harder next year.

    Gardening, beach then coffin bay oysters, prawns, champagne and beers.....and some OxyContin if the cats get up.

    See you all at the big dance next year. 

    Go Dees.

    Changed my mind, a dodgy score review over-turning the goal after the Cats celebrate. Then Scott’s head explodes

    Jealousy aside, it is so great to see Grand Final back at the G. Seeing some of those MCC people waiting since Thurs and the old door buster sale thing. Fantastic.

    I just feel so frustrated. Dees should be there.  Such a disappointing end to the year.  I’d be happy to play either in the GF. We owned the Swans until the umps changed the course. 
    I think it’s the Cats this year.

    Apparently Holmes will be a late out according to channel 7.

    Heading to the game today. Nothing could possibly go close to seeing the boys play a GF at the G, however after no grand finals here for 2 seasons it’s still exciting to see one live.

    Cats by 6 goals.

    Mind you I have under rated the Swans for the lst 10 years.

    Decent chance Cats kick 7 goals to 1 in the first Q and it’s game over 

    Swans need to play a massive first Q

    The only positive, so far, today is that we are reigning premiers for the next 6 hours

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
